Description Justin Zobel 2023-10-21 04:59:15 UTC 
SUMMARY
Pressing play on a song that was deleted does nothing. It should show a message saying the file cannot be found.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play a song
2. Exit elisa
3. Delete file
4. Start Elisa and press play

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing

EXPECTED RESULT
Some sort of message letting the user know why playback failed.

elisa 23.08.1 on postmarketOS Edge (Frameworks 5.110).

Can mostly confirm with git master. The song becomes grayed out, but yeah, some kind of message would be good to show to the user here.

Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'.

Subtly notify user on invalidated songs

When a song becomes invalidated, it greys out and becomes unplayable.
But we don't display any text to the user regarding this, so they have
to guess at what might have happened.
FIXED-IN: 24.02
